A black stone statue of a multi-armed deity stands in a shrine under a stone arch, surrounded by green leafy trees. The figure wears an orange saffron cloth draped over the body and an orange and gold turban, with a red tilak on the forehead. Long garlands of yellow, purple, magenta and red flowers hang from the shoulders to the base, with red roses at the foot. Several hands hold a drum, a flower and other objects. The statue is a deity murti rather than a living person, and no one is physically present.
